3. If operating time has become excessively shorter,
stop operating immediately. It may result in a risk
of overheating, possible burns and even an
explosion.
4. If electrolyte gets into your eyes, rinse them out
with clear water and seek medical attention right
away. It may result in loss of your eyesight.
5. Do not short the battery cartridge:
(1)
Do not touch the terminals with any
conductive material.
(2)
Avoid storing battery cartridge in a container
with other metal objects such as nails, coins,
etc.
(3)
Do not expose battery cartridge to water or
rain.
A battery short can cause a large current flow,
overheating, possible burns and even a
breakdown.
6. Do not store the tool and battery cartridge in
locations where the temperature may reach or
exceed 50°C (122°F).
7. Do not incinerate the battery cartridge even if it is
severely damaged or is completely worn out. The
battery cartridge can explode in a fire.
8. Be careful not to drop or strike battery.
9. Do not use a damaged battery.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Tips for maintaining maximum battery life
1. Charge the battery cartridge before completely
discharged.
Always stop tool operation and charge the battery
cartridge when you notice less tool power.
2. Never recharge a fully charged battery cartridge.
Overcharging shortens the battery service life.
3. Charge the battery cartridge with room
temperature at 10°C - 40°C (50°F - 104°F). Let a hot
battery cartridge cool down before charging it.
4. Charge the battery cartridge once in every six
months if you do not use it for a long period of
time.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
battery cartridge is removed before adjusting or
checking function on the tool.
Installing or removing battery cartridge
(Fig. 1)
• Always switch off the tool before insertion or removal of
the battery cartridge.
• To remove the battery cartridge, withdraw it from the
tool while pressing the buttons on both sides of the
cartridge.
• To insert the battery cartridge, align the tongue on the
battery cartridge with the groove in the housing and slip
it into place. Always insert it all the way until it locks in
place with a little click. If not, it may accidentally fall out
of the tool, causing injury to you or someone around
you.
• Do not use force when inserting the battery cartridge. If
the cartridge does not slide in easily, it is not being
inserted correctly.
Lock button (Fig. 2)
When the lock button is in the locked position B, the
switch cannot be actuated.
When the lock button is in the unlocked position A, the
switch can be actuated.
Switch action (Fig. 3)
CAUTION:
• Before inserting the battery cartridge into the tool,
always check to see that the switch actuates properly
and returns to the "OFF" position when released.
To start the tool, first move the lock button to the unlocked
position A to release the switch. And then simply push the
switch on the
C side for the clockwise rotation and the
D side for the counterclockwise rotation Release the
switch to stop.
CAUTION:
• Always check the direction of rotation before operation.
• Change the direction only after the tool comes to a
complete stop. Changing the direction of rotation
before the tool stops may damage the tool.
• When not operating the tool, always place the lock
button in the locked position
Speed change (Fig. 4)
To change the speed, first switch off the tool and then
slide the speed change lever to the "2" side for high speed
or "1" side for low speed. Be sure that the speed change
lever is set to the correct position before operation. Use
the right speed for your job.
CAUTION:
• Always set the speed change lever fully to the correct
position. If you operate the tool with the speed change
lever positioned halfway between the "1" side and "2"
side, the tool may be damaged.
• Do not use the speed change lever while the tool is
running. The tool may be damaged.
Adjusting the fastening torque (Fig. 5)
The fastening torque can be adjusted in 21 steps by
turning the adjusting ring so that its graduations are
aligned with the pointer on the tool body. The fastening
torque is minimum when the number 1 is aligned with the
pointer, and maximum when the
the pointer.
The clutch will slip at various torque levels when set at the
number 1 to 21. The clutch is designed not to slip at the
marking.
Before actual operation, drive a trial screw into your
material or a piece of duplicate material to determine
which torque level is required for a particular application.
